Re: PL coming to Holland

Glad to have finally confirmed AHOY which I've been mentioning for the last 10 years as a genuine and worthy top location for a Premier League venue or a major tournament in Holland. I do think, however, we need a Dutch world champion to carry the PR burden towards the PL evening date in particular,...

Re: Future of the forum

Must admit I hardly post anything anymore on here, because it seems everybody is vastly interested in money and ranking related subjects instead of genuine darts itself. I'm an old school guy having lifted a threesome of darts for the very first time in August 1977 and put them away about 2 years ag...

Re: HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY TSOD!!!!

Congrats to the lads in charge for half a decade of TSoD ! You've done a fine job, especially in handling the PDC/BDO controversies so well ! Still, I personally liked the old forum better in its haydays with lots of posting pro's on board and plenty of members who made great contributions, contents...

Yeah he's half admitted it. He's completly admitting it. That there was no physical contact was because of the woman's refuse, he clearly would. I would not know what to think if I were his wife.

Re: MVG

Mikey's too fond of his wife Daphne to fall for mediocre female persuasions. He knows he's in the public spotlights now and apart from being a faithful husband he would, i.m.o. never run the risk of playing stray cat. Maybe he went for an extra drink or so after his colossal 16-4 defeat at the hands...

Re: PDC's Darts biggest falls from grace..

Of course not but the system creates a pigeon hive side effect (every once in a while newcomers to be deemed or doomed to become household names), especially for players who haven't grown up with the OoM. I'm fully aware that overprotective states do not necessarily deliver the ideal situation eithe...

Re: PDC's Darts biggest falls from grace..

Over these last few years the ones who have helped make the PDC what it is today for the younger generation have been let down big time by the OoM system. The money system offers hardly any protection for players that have been invested in for years on a stretch to make them PDC icons and household ...

Re: RIP to a forum legend

Always so sad to lose a family member and I consider TSoD a bit of a family even though I'm more away from home than I used to. R.I.P. Paul (writing this makes me chuckle even more after having watched another Paul for the last time in F & F 7). And my sincerest condolences to those close to him...

Hi Lee, I'm fine apart from my left knee, back and neck :D

And yes, that maroon blazer is a genuine BDO pro tournament version at least since you mentioned it might be. :DDD:

Re: 115.80 AVERAGE AND LOSES.

I felt if the 144 hadn't gone in, Taylor would have walked the rest of the match. But it did go in - abit equivalent to Deller's 1983 against Bristow who, like Phil, bluffed by not going for the bull and lost both the leg and the match. When Taylor lost to Wright the other week with his 108 plus ave...

Re: Betway Premier League - Discussion Thread

Not manufactured at all in Mikey's case if you listen to him on Dutch TV speaking out his mind about e.g. Peter's clownesque attitude and image. He's a great player, Mikey is, but he would be well advised to sometimes watch back some of his irritating match phases. although he's doing the fist pumpi...

Re: If the PDC world championship final was on BBC how many viewers would it receive?

Green's a legend but if it's true he starts talking rubbish more and more often, he should call it a day himself or have John Part by his side to correct him so he stays hungry and sharp instead of complacent and inaccurate. As to the OP: I think there would be a marginal difference in viewing figur...

Re: PDC Awards 2015

I also voted for Gary, but taking his 2015 world title out of the equasion as this award refers to 2014, either Phil or Michael should have won the award.

Re: Burnett 2 Year Ban

It seems pretty obvious the PDC/DRA have wanted to set an example here and quite rightly so as there's a lot of vulnerable youth darts players involved in their scheme of activities as well as the pro's. I feel sorry for Richie, but if the rumours about cocaïne use are based on a true matter of fact...
